A woman is behind bars Tuesday after accusations she wrestled a gun from her husband and shot him at their north Harris County home.

Jena Davis, 42, was charged Tuesday with aggravated assault on a family member, according to court documents.

Davis was arrested at her home late Monday after she told authorities over the phone she shot her husband at their house in the 19000 block of Cypresswood Falls, said Cinthya Umanzor, spokeswoman for the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office.

During the dispute, her husband had threatened her with a firearm, Davis said.

Davis called just before 10:30 p.m. She said she was still clutching the gun. Her husband was yelling at her from another room in the couple's house to drop the firearm, she added.

There were no reports that Davis was injured during the incident. Davis' husband was taken to an area hospital a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
